Chapter 268

Bai Jing looked at his opponent across the field, speechless. "You're really unlucky!"

No other reason — because his opponent this time was that Lei Ming again.

Lei Ming wanted to cry too. After losing one match to Student Mu Rong, he had very promisingly won two in a row, performing outstandingly, and earning quite a few bonus points in each match.

If he could win this one as well, he believed he could enter the final championship round.

But why, of all things, in the very last match — the most critical one — did he have to run into that bastard Bai Jing again?

Why? Heaven, why must you toy with me like this?

"Less nonsense. Losing to you last time was my carelessness. This time I can win, and I absolutely must win!"

Bai Jing curled his lip. Whether he could win or not wasn't decided by shouting slogans alone.

"Both sides, send out your Pokémon!"

Lei Ming still sent out Magnezone, while Bai Jing sent out Dragonite.

"It's not Aegislash!"

Lei Ming was delighted — and getting cocky!

"Hahaha… you clearly know Water-type is weak to my Electric, and Ice-type is weak to my Steel, yet you still send out Dragonite to fight."

Bai Jing stared at him oddly. "Don't you find those words very familiar? Seems like you said the exact same thing last time, right? And what happened?"

Lei Ming choked. Right — Aegislash was also weak to Electric, and what happened?

So what's the difference swapping in Dragonite?

"It's different. Electric-type deals double damage to Water-type, and Steel-type deals double damage to Ice-type."

"Fine, fine, fine, whatever makes you happy!"

Although ice is water in solidified form, ice doesn't conduct electricity. Combined with the Icy Rock field and home-ground advantage, this match held absolutely no pressure for Bai Jing.

"The match begins!"

"Magnezone, Thunderbolt!"

"Dragonite, Ice Beam!"

The two attacks shot out, one from below and one from above, colliding midair.

After a brief stalemate, the electric current was shattered, and the freezing beam shot straight for Magnezone in the sky.

"Dodge, quick!"

Magnezone flashed to the side, barely evading the attack.

Ouyang and the others began discussing again.

"This Dragonite's Ice-type is indeed extremely powerful, and with the home-ground boost, I'm afraid Lei Ming is no match!"

"He's not without a chance of winning — holding the sky is his greatest advantage."

"Let's see how he handles it!"

At this moment in the field, Dragonite fired Ice Beam at the sky again, only for it to be bounced back by Magnezone's Mirror Coat.

This was a double reflection, plus double type-effectiveness — adding up to quadruple damage. If hit, even with Dragonite's massive stamina, it would be in serious trouble.

"Dragonite, slide!"

Dragonite's fins scraped across the ice, immediately skating a long distance and successfully dodging the reflected attack.

"My Dragonite is a skating expert — hitting it won't be that easy!"

"Yeah? I don't buy it!"

"Magnezone, Electroweb to trap it!"

One after another, Magnezone cast down Electrowebs, while Dragonite zipped across the ice at high speed to dodge.

Lei Ming laughed triumphantly. "Bai Jing, I hold the aerial advantage and have Mirror Coat — you can't touch me! Dragonite can't keep dodging forever; sooner or later it'll be caught in the Electroweb!"

True — if Dragonite wanted to attack its airborne opponent, it had to use a special move, which was utterly countered by the opponent's Mirror Coat.

The situation was unfavorable for Bai Jing, and at this moment Lei Ming felt like he was on top again!

"Look at you, getting all smug!"

"Dragonite, use Mist!"

A cloud of white mist was exhaled by Dragonite, spreading out to cover itself and the surrounding area, cutting off Magnezone's line of sight.

Lei Ming frowned. "You're just buying time — you still can't turn this unfavorable situation around."

"Oh, really?"

At that moment, a beautiful song drifted out from the white mist, and Lei Ming's expression changed!

"Magnezone, use Screech to counter it, quick!"

The song reached its ears, making Magnezone drowsy and unable to maintain its magnetism, beginning to fall — fortunately it woke in time to stabilize itself and hurriedly prepared to use Screech.

But that bit of time was more than enough for Dragonite to launch an attack!

Ice Beam streaked in at high speed, hitting Magnezone dead-on, freezing it into an ice sculpture that crashed onto the ice — double damage.

And it wasn't over yet!

Strike while you're down!

Dragonite had already skated over at top speed!

"Body Press!"

Dragonite immediately performed an aerial belly-flop on the spot!

With a thunderous crash, the ice was crushed into a deep crater — one could well imagine how "thrilling" the moment was for Magnezone.

With electricity arcing wildly through it, it nearly short-circuited on the spot!

Dragonite wasn't all that heavy either — just a little over four hundred jin!

But at this moment it was full of grievance — it was a girl, after all, being made to do something so inelegant was terribly embarrassing!

And besides, this iron lump is really annoying!

Lei Ming's mouth twitched. "Self-Destruct Magneton, are you okay?"

"Discharge! Discharge! Electrocute it!"

One shot, one kill. Unable to withstand the electric shock, the Dragonite hurriedly fled. The Self-Destruct Magneton managed to escape, but its figure flying toward the sky was lopsided, clearly badly injured!

"Damn it! I never expected such a favorable situation to be broken by a small skill like White Mist!"

"But I am prepared now. Don't think you can succeed so easily again!"

"Self-Destruct Magneton, continue with Thunder Wave..."

Before Lei Ming could finish his command, Bai Jing over there had already made his move!

"Hail!"

The Dragonite cried out to the sky, the heavens and earth changing color. Ice pellets the size of fists began to rain down, growing denser and denser, turning Lei Ming's face green.

Hail can inflict continuous damage unless you possess the Ice attribute to be immune.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The hail striking the Self-Destruct Magneton's body sounded so pleasant to Bai Jing, yet like a death knell to Lei Ming.

What to do, what to do? If this continues, the opponent will exhaust me to death just by attrition.

The Self-Destruct Magneton's stamina was already just average; it couldn't be worn down like this!

"I'll risk it!"

"Self-Destruct Magneton, use Lock-On!"

Lock-On is a skill prepared for the next move; the next attack will definitely hit.

"Want to prepare a big move? As you wish!"

"Dragonite, Ice Beam!"

Just as the Self-Destruct Magneton completed the Lock-On, it was struck by the cold beam, frozen into an ice sculpture, and crashed down once more.

However, it was precisely that impact that broke the ice sealing its body.

"Stand up, Self-Destruct Magneton, use Flash Cannon!"

Although Flash Cannon is a Steel-type big move, using it also causes backlash to the user.

But Lei Ming could no longer care about that; he had to finish the opponent quickly, otherwise the hail weather would be extremely unfavorable for him!

The Self-Destruct Magneton rose to gather power, preparing its big move, while at this moment, the Dragonite had also slid over!

"Then let's see whose big move is superior!"

"Dragonite, Absolute Zero!"

An incredibly chilling cold radiated from the Dragonite's body, turning into a shockwave sweeping in all directions!

At this very moment, the Self-Destruct Magneton also erupted with a massive torrent of steel, roaring straight for the Dragonite!
